co 
a) 
NEW LOCALITIES. 
Editor Conchologists’ Exchange : 
Sir: I wish to report Zozites intertextus, 
Binney, as being found sparingly in this (Han- 
cock) County, and Pleurocera neglectum, An- 
thony, from the ‘Tippecanoe River, Koscinsco 
County; both in Indiana. Both localities, I 
believe, to be new.

Editor Conchologists’ Exchange: 
Sir: A new locality for Unio papyracea. 
Gould, is Lake Ashby, Volusia Co., Florida, 
This paper-like shell is very rare, and only a 
few specimens were secured. ‘The original 
station, I think, Mr. Gould does not give.
